Dear Shirley, Earth Angel:

It makes sense to me that you don’t like other students overreacting to test results and being competitive because you like the laid back, non competitive, friendly attitude instead. And it makes sense that you would prefer a quiet java class. Silence, calm, easy going, relax attitude is what works best for you.

Molecular biologist vs biochemist- interesting parallels and distinctions. I can imagine computer programs are very helpful in studying DNA sequence. I wonder how that was done before computers!

I like books too, although I don’t like self help books anymore. I enjoy reading threads right here than reading books. There is much more truth, straight forwardness, honest and open sharing and learning on these threads than in polished, edited and re-edited self help and biography books.
